The number of sessions needed for effective results with laser hair removal varies depending on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. Typically, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are required to target hair follicles in different growth phases and achieve optimal results.
Laser hair removal is generally safe for most skin types and hair colors. However, it may be less effective on very light or grey hair, as the laser targets pigment in the hair follicle. People with darker skin tones may require special consideration and specific types of lasers to avoid potential skin damage.
During a laser hair removal session, you may experience a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, along with mild discomfort and redness in the treated area. After the session, the skin may appear slightly irritated, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a few days. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your technician to minimize any potential side effects and optimize results.
To hold a reservation for any service, you must provide a valid credit card. Your credit card will hold your time with the practitioners or service so that another booking is not put in its place. This applies even if you intend to pay with a gift certificate. Alive and Well will not charge your card unless you fail to arrive for your appointment or do not cancel within the appropriate period of time.
